If you’re looking for something sleek and elegant for your feline, British cat names are the way to go. They often have a traditional and regal sound, which is why many people choose them for their cats. They can be unique and simple at the same time.

However, because there are thousands of years of British history, there are tons of names for you to choose from. You’ll find names with Celtic origins, as well as Norman and Roman names. We’ve included several options below, whether you’re going for something traditional or modern.

How to Name Your Cat

If you’ve narrowed your list to British names, you’ve already come quite far. At least you know what you want to name your cat. Luckily, we’ve included a long list of British names below to help you get started.

We suggest reading through our lists of names in whatever categories interest you. Keep a small list of names that you like. Don’t write every name down, but you don’t have to be very discerning about the names, either.

Once you’ve gone through the lists, narrow down your list of names as much as possible. Hopefully, you’ll only have a few names left by the end of this process. Next, you’ll want to try the names on your cat for a day or two to see if they fit. Some names may be great in theory, but they may not fit your feline.

Your cat will take longer than a day to learn their new name, so this should not result in any confusion.
